I liked it very much. I viewed all the pictures and was very impressed. Well done. How did you go about making the wear spots along the turret top? Keep up the great work and I look forward to seeing more of your work.

, Gracias mi amigo. I'm currently working on a Tamiya late tiger 1. I'll give that a shot on this one and try my luck with it. Hope you don't mind me using your techniques? It never hurts to learn something new. "Model on" there young fella.

Bus,
it looks very good, I like the worn edges as well, I think that I may use that tips when I build my king tiger! What company is this model from ? (Tamiya, DML, etc...)

Great build and finish Bus. You really made a fine job of this monster. Your colour choice for the 3 clour camo is excellent and the overall weathering is almost perfect. The view from the back at the exhauts make them look so heavy and metallic its unreal. The only thing I think is overdone is some of the chipping. Along the plates on the turret roof ... the chipping is too uniform ........ some breaks in it or broken chipping might have come across better. The image below shows what i mean. Also the turret tracks have really heavy sink marks that would be better to fill. I just wish I had your skills at your age.... keep them coming... great work overall.
